Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of a non-bailable warrant issued against the appellant under the Habeas Corpus petition, emphasizing the need for the welfare of the minor child as paramount. The Court held that the issuance of such warrants must consider the circumstances of the case, particularly the allegations of domestic violence under Section 498A IPC and the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court ultimately quashed the non-bailable warrant, prioritizing the child's welfare and the ongoing legal proceedings regarding maintenance and custody.
